Hi Kieran,

Does this discussion help?

https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_do_I_delete_incorrect_assignments_as_co_authors_similar_name_wrong_person_Does_Rsearch_Gate_have_a_contact_email_Cant_locate_it

One useful way might be contacting ResearchGate directly:

I had the same issue and I did the following:

1) Go to https://www.researchgate.net/contact

2) Select the option "The wrong author is listed ..."

3) Click "provide details"

4) Then provide:

Profile link or name of wrong claimant: include the link of that wrong co-author

Publications incorrectly claimed: Include the link of your paper

After I submitted the above info., Researchgate fixed all of the issues after 3 days. RG also sent me an email telling me that it has fixed the issue.

To begin with, you could go to your ResearchGate profile and edit your name. Maybe add a middle initial, or something that will differentiate you from the other Kieran.

Then look at the pages for each of the incorrect papers and click the down arrow on the right side of the screen....

Select "Edit" and request a change to the authors. I think you can do this by clicking "not correct" for the wrong Kieran and "Add an author" to add yourself.

This change will not happen immediately because the RG staff apparently reviews the request to validate it.

Dear Samantha and Michael,

Many thanks to both of you for taking the time to respond to my question - I will immediately implement this advice and let you know if there are any further hitches, but hopefully there won't be. I'm very grateful for your time and collegiality. As I say, I am just starting out on this research portal, having previously put most of my work and my profile onto academia.edu, a similar site to this one in some respects. Thanks again, Michael and Samantha.

Very best wishes,

Kieran.
